Black Panther Appreciation: What Giants Do

Welcome, one and all, to the BLACK PANTHER Appreciation to celebrate T'Challa (and/or his sister Shuri)!

Let the appreciation and celebrations continue!

Black Panther's Theme Song:

Black Panther's official logo:

T'Challa is a brilliant tactician, strategist, scientist, tracker and a master of all forms of unarmed combat whose unique hybrid fighting style incorporates acrobatics and aspects of animal mimicry. T'Challa, being a royal descendent of a warrior race, is also a master of armed combat, able to use a variety of weapons but prefers unarmed combat. He is a master planner who always thinks several steps ahead of his enemies as well as his friends and will go to extreme measures to achieve his goals and protect the kingdom of Wakanda.

T'Challa's senses and physical attributes have been enhanced to superhuman levels by the heart-shaped herb. Recently he received an upgrade from Bast the Panther God and is now known as the King of the Dead, essentially making him the king of all the deceased monarchs that ruled before him and also giving him a whole new range of powers (which are to be slowly revealed over time). Bast now considers T'Challa to be her personal champion and HER Black Panther.

T'Challa's Vibranium-weave uniform absorbs the kinetic force of impacts, rendering him bulletproof. His costume's gloves can generate energy daggers and house anti-metal claws that dissolve other metals on contact. His Kimoyo Card enables global communication, picks up satellite signals, and can block most radio transmissions. His boot soles are thick Vibranium alloy pads which can vibrate at various frequencies, allowing him to run up the sides of buildings, land soundlessly and without injury from a height of 50 feet, walk on water, or slice through metal. His costume is fitted with cloaking technology, allowing it to pass as normal street clothes. He also has access to the many specialized weapons and vehicles of Wakanda. The extent of technology T'Challa has access to is believed to be limitless.

We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of Wakanda. We are the teeth of the Panther God. Out of 10,000 years of sweat and bloodshed and battle are we born. We are the women of this ancient land. Deadliest of the species. And our time has come!

Who is the Black Panther? What can he do? You've entered the right place. Welcome to Wakanda.

Special thanks to all the Panther fans you'll find in this thread. This type of list wouldn't be possible without the combined knowledge contained within.

As am I. It feels almost like a rebirth of sorts lol. I get to use a new signature, honoring the great warrior herself, Mistress Aneka, fighting mistress of the Dora Milaje. Perhaps this is a sign from the Panther God.

I started a new "issues" thread in the community forum called "Minorities In Comics and Related Media". I know it was born from this thread so i figured it was easier to post then attempting to track down new names and PMing everyone. Mods: I promise this will be the only "self promoting" from me.
